Cabinet with guiding assembly

ABSTRACT

A cabinet with a guiding assembly, comprises a cabinet body having a receiving space; a first end and a second end being at two opposite ends of the cabinet body; the first end being openable; a lateral wall of the first end being installed with a slide track and a fixed track for locating the outer frame; the slide track being turnable outwards and being pivotally connected to a driven portion; an inner wall of the receiving space of the cabinet body being installed with a recessed track for engaging the inner frame; an outer frame which is turnable outwards; an inner frame installed in the cabinet body; the inner frame being movable. When the outer frame moves outwards, the slide track is turned outwards, the inner frame moves from the first end toward the second end by the guiding of the driven portion.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to cabinets, and particularly to a cabinetwith a guiding assembly, wherein more spaces are provided and theoperation for taking objects in the cabinet is convenient.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With referring to FIG. 8, a prior art clothes cabinet 90 is illustrated.The cabinet has a set of movable doorplates 91 which may moves linearlyalong tracks or opened outwards around pivoted shafts. The cabinet space92 inside the doorplates 91 serves for locating objects, such asclothes. In the prior art, the doorplates 91 must be opened for locatingobjects. All the door plates 91 are possible opened and thus a frontportion of each door plate 91 can not be located with other object,otherwise it is inconvenient to open the door plate 91 with objectslocating at a front end thereof, even the objects at the backside of thedoor plate 91 is very difficult to take out.

Referring to FIG. 9, it is illustrated that two clothes cabinets 90 areplaced as an L shape. However this way causes that one doorplate 91 isshielded by another cabinet. Thus the object at the backside of theshield doorplate 91 is difficult to be taken out.

With referring to FIG. 10, another prior art clothes cabinet 93 isillustrated, wherein a round frame is installed within the cabinet forlocating many objects. However this prior art way occupies a greaterspace. The cost is high and the assembly work is complicated. Thus fromabove discuss, it is known that the prior art has the defect that thespace is limited. It is not suitable for the current life style becausein many area, such as in city, people often has insufficient space forlocating objects.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide acabinet with a guiding assembly, wherein more spaces are provided andthe operation for taking objects in the cabinet is convenient.

To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a cabinet witha guiding assembly which comprises a cabinet body having a receivingspace; a first end and a second end being at two opposite ends of thecabinet body; the first end being openable; a lateral wall of the firstend being installed with a slide track and a fixed track for locatingthe outer frame; the slide track being turnable outwards and beingpivotally connected to a driven portion; an inner wall of the receivingspace of the cabinet body being installed with a recessed track forengaging the inner frame; an outer frame which is turnable outwards; aninner frame installed in the cabinet body; the inner frame beingmovable. When the outer frame moves outwards, the slide track is turnedoutwards, the inner frame moves from the first end toward the second endby the guiding of the driven portion.

The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be morereadily understood from the following detailed description when read inconjunction with the appended drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order that those skilled in the art can further understand thepresent invention, a description will be provided in the following indetails. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are onlyused to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects,features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to beused to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined inthe appended claims.

In the following, a clothes cabinet is used as an example, however thepresent invention can be used to other cabinet structure.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the structure of the present invention isillustrated. The present invention has the following elements.

A cabinet body 10 has a receiving space 11 at an interior thereof. Afirst end 111 is at a left side of the cabinet body 10 and a second end112 is at a right side of the cabinet body 10. The first end 111 is anopen end. The user can get an object in the cabinet body 10. The secondend 112 may be an open end or a close end. The user can place otherobjects in front of the second end 112. This will not affect thefunction of the present invention.

An inner lateral wall 12 of the first end 111 of the receiving space 11is installed with a slide track 121 and a fixed track 122 for locatingan outer frame 20. An outer end of the slide track 121 has a pivotalportion 123 which is pivotally installed to the lateral wall 12. Thepivotal portion 123 is turnable. An upper side of the slide track 121 isinstalled with a shaft 124. The shaft 124 and a driven portion 40 areused to guide an inner frame. One section of the fixed track 122 isformed as a cambered section 125 for guiding the movement of the outerframe 20 so as to slightly shift the outer frame 20 to the second end112. Thus only a small space is necessary for receiving the outer frame20 which is pulled outwards and the outer frame 20 can be turned outeasily.

An inner wall 13 at a deep portion of the receiving space 11 isinstalled with a set of set of recessed tracks 131. The recessed tracks131 are installed from the first end 111 to the second end 112. Therecessed tracks 131 serve for locating the inner frame 30.

The outer frame 20 serves for receiving objects. The outer frame 20 canbe formed as a hanging rod 21 for hanging clothes 50, or the outer frame20 may have other forms. The outer frame is installed between the slidetrack 121 and the fixed track 122. In a storage state, the outer frame20 is placed in the receiving space 11 of the cabinet body 10. In use,the outer frame 20 is pulled out and is turned outwards along thepivotal portion 123 to be out of the receiving space 11 for taking theobject therein.

The inner frame 30 serves for locating objects. The inner frame 30 maybe a form of a hanging rod 31 or other forms. The inner frame 30 isguided by a driven portion 40. When the outer frame 20 moves to be outof the receiving space 11, the inner frame 30 moves from the first end111 toward the second end 112 along the recessed tracks 131. Thus theuser can take objects on the inner frame 30 from the opened first end111.

The driven portion 40 includes a sliding trench 41 and a connecting rod42. The sliding trench 41 has a long trench 411 for installing the shaft124 of the slide track 121 and the connecting rod 42 is pivotallyrotatably and bendable and is connected to the inner frame 30.

Referring to FIGS. 3 to 7, in storage state, the outer frame 20 is atthe first end 111 and the inner frame 30 is at the second end 112. Inuse, the outer frame 20 serves to guide the inner frame 30. When theouter frame 20 is pulled out, as illustrated in FIG. 4. The outer frame20 is movable along the slide track 121 and the fixed track 122 towardthe receiving space 11. When the outer frame 20 is pulled out from thereceiving space 11, as illustrated in FIG. 5, it is turnable along thepivotal portion 123 so that the slide track 121 drives the slidingtrench 41 of the driven portion 40 and the connecting rod 42 bends. Thusas illustrated in FIG. 6, the inner frame 30 displaces from the firstend 111 to the second end 112 along the slide track 131. Finally, seeFIG. 7, when the outer frame 20 is pulled out of the first end 111, theinner frame 30 is at the position of the first end 111. Thus the usercan take the objects in the outer frame 20 or the inner frame 30conveniently.

In use, it is only necessary that the first end 111 is opened, and thesecond end 112 may be opened or closed. The objects on the second end112 can be taken out. Thus other objects can be placed before the secondend 112. The space is saved.

The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that thesame may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regardedas a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, andall such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art areintended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
